Blog: Celebrity baby names

Naming your baby something unusual that sounds like a newly-discovered species of dinosaur is basically a given when you live in La La Land. It’s common to hear people making fun of a given celebrity for their strange or, ahem, unique baby name of choice, and trust me, there are plenty. So what I decided to do was dig around and compile a list of the top 10 worst celebrity baby names, 10 being the most bearable and one being absolutely horrendous.

10. Blue Ivy (Beyonce and Jay-Z)

When the famous singer gave birth to her baby daughter earlier this year, the world freaked out upon finding out her name. I’ll admit it; it’s a strange name. But I’m only putting Blue Ivy at 10 as the name has a nice meaning, and is actually pretty cool.

9. Sunday Rose (Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban)

Alright, so this name isn’t terrible. But it does make me think of ice cream sundaes, and I think it’s against the law to douse a child in chocolate syrup and eat them. Oh, and Thursday is my favorite day of the week.

8. Zuma Nesta Rock (Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale)

I don’t even know what this name means. I’m assuming their baby was a delivery from outter space, but I guess because the name sounds like it could just be foreign, it is somewhat ok.

7. Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin)

Whether or not Apple’s parents named her after the brand or the fruit, you do not name your child Apple. Point blank.

6. Camera (Arthur Ashe)

What was this girl thinking? It has sort of a cool ring to it, but I would hope she had just made the child’s middle name Nikon or Sony while she was at it.

5. Satchel (Woody Allen and Mia Farrow)

At least if Farrow ever gets dissed for having bags under her eyes, she can say, “I may have bags but I also have a satchel.”

4. Zowie Bowie (David Bowie)

Zowie Bowie? A first name and a last name should not rhyme. Isn’t that like naming 101?

3. Jermajesty (Jermaine Jackson)

If Will and Kate decide to name their royal baby Jermajesty, then I guess it’s fine. But for now, I’m quite embarrased for this kid. Let’s leave it at that.

2. Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva Thin Muffin (Frank Zappa)

Congrats, Frank Zappa. All four of your kids made the list. But the one that really takes the cake is Diva Thin Muffin. I mean, c’mon, is that a joke? That’s something I would probably name my nonexistent pet gerbil.

1. Buddy Bear, Petal Blossom, Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo (Jamie Oliver)

And last but certainly not least (well actually, yes, least) is yet another set of four names. Jamie Oliver, you’re the lucky winner. You may be a wonderful chef, but if you ever have another kid, you may want to find someone else to cook up a name for you.
